Anthony Martial’s agent recently said that the French striker will leave United in January, wrote Wednesday daily Mail As the first newspaper in which the Frenchman also spoke to Ralph Rangnick about his situation.
During the banned part of the press conference before the Newcastle game, the United manager also confirmed this meeting.
– Yes, Anthony said that he had been here for seven years, that it was time for a change, that he wanted somewhere else. I can understand that too.
At the same time, it is also important to consider the position of the club. Now the pandemic is spreading, and the club still has big ambitions for three championships.
So yes, we have to take care of the interests of the club and the players, but I told him that as long as no club contacts us, he will stay here.
Rangnick also added that United could drop individual players if they were found to be vulnerable.
– It could be important, yes. If you aren’t vaccinated, you not only risk a player not being there for ten days, for example, but this can happen over and over again.
We must try to convince the players that it is right to vaccinate. Doctors here at United know only players who have had two or three doses, but I know that the vaccination rate at United is very similar to that of the Premier League. It should be in the players’ best interest to be vaccinated (so that they are available for as many matches as possible)
After several days with the players in training this week, Rangnick wasn’t worried about the players’ physical condition, and work on getting more of Ralph’s ball worked was ongoing both on the training field, through meetings and using video.
Now it’s about finding an offensive balance while at the same time defending ourselves as a team and we can get more zeros back.
– But it will also be important for all players to be in the best possible condition in the future. Therefore, we may rotate the team in the future.
